When Disaster Strikes

We find out about another aspect of the work of the Red Cross its response to local and national emergencies both major and minor. These disasters can be as large scale as tsunamis or pandemics or as small as an elderly lady coming out of hospital and needing a wheelchair or transport. Large or small, they all fit the Red Cross’s mission of relieving suffering and respecting human dignity.

How to use this resource

There are 5 Rays, which provide a programme for one year’s sessions for a children’s group running during term-time. For each Ray, there is a set of topics, each of which comprises a theme for a term or half-term.

The sessions are presented in a pick-and-mix way - some information, some games, crafts, videos, etc. You are encouraged to adapt the material to your own setting , the time you have available and the resources you have. Don’t think that you have to do everything on offer.
